          Haha, thanks guys! I'd love to be all macho and state how tough and great I feel, but sadly (as most can attest), my body definitely is not 18 anymore. But, I know I can throw-down with anybody younger than me if they put my gf's or my life in danger, and that's all that matters.

          Yes, today my younger brother will be bringing a truck & trailer to pick-up the Suzuki GS1000 him & I have been working on (I'll keep the key until he has the money for insurance & registration, don't wan't him getting tempted . . . )

          And, I will be putting a new connector on the harness pigtail going to the fuel pump of my Triumph (the clip snapped, so it was a loose connection, causing the bike to conk-out). After that, I'll be installing some baffles and muffler packing from a company in Germany, called Silent sport. I have an undertail exhaust system that's pretty loud at the moment. I like quieter pipes.

                  Hey there Ian,

                  Sorry, day late, but with this 3 day weekend I figure it's still good! And your last statement there....already signs of an "OLDER" man! Yes, quieter pipes will help keep your hearing intact a bit longer in your later years. Anyways, hope you had a great one, and keep having them. I'm just a few years shy of being twice your age, and my brain still feels like it's 18 at times, but my body keeps it real.

                    Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellas! I believe today is the XS-East Rally? Never-mind my birthday, a moment of silence for all those whom have gave their lives for our freedom. And, to those of you who made it back, thank you for for your service.
